Winter Storage - Stiga 43 COMBI User Manual

When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into ob-
stacles.
When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade
screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non-genu-
ine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or dam-
age, even if they fit the machine.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
For safety reasons, the blades should not be sharp-
ened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature
could cause the blades to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced to avoid vibra-
tion damage.

Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in
the tank for more than one month.
Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug.
Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug
hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark
plug.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
SERVICING

shops and by many dealers.
